Russian Potato Salad

The Wednesday, June 18th, 1997 food section of the San Francisco Chronicle has been tucked in with my cookbooks since I set it aside that day. The whole section, entitled the 'Summer Survival Guide', was interesting to me but the potato salad recipe written by Marlena Spieler has stuck around. It is excellent the "next day" making it perfect for all those times that you need to have some stuff ready ahead of time. It is a traditional, creamy potato salad with a strong undertone of garlic, dill and capers making it interesting. The name really is 'russian potato and salad' but I'm guessing the 'and' was a misprint. I don't think the recipe has any misprints though and it is a flexible recipe where the measurements can be moved in the direction to suite your tastes. These are mine which are not too far off from the original.
